I like tattoos and cats and maybe 3 people shirt, hoodie, tank top

 His father was Luis Buendia Tantoco, a farmer-fishing trader in Malolos, Bulacan, and his mother, Carmen Fabella Rufino, was a music teacher fondly called “Maestra Mameng” by the students who learned to play using the four pianos in the Tantoco home.

The second of eight children, Benny naturally developed business skills and an appreciation for music and culture. His eldest brother, Luis Jr., was a violinist with the Manila Symphony Orchestra. A sister, Felicidad “Nene” Gochoco, was a concert pianist.

Benny helped his father in their rice I like tattoos and cats and maybe 3 people shirt, hoodie, tank top  field and fishing pond, and he instilled in Benny basic lessons: “Work hard, be punctual, and be fair.”

Benny also learned to be friends with both rich and poor. He used to hitch a ride on the bike of his best friend, Jose “Pepe” Lomotan.

Another best friend was Felipe F. Cruz, who came from humble means but became class valedictorian. FF’s wife Angelita Almeda Cruz used to say that her husband, who rose to become one of the country’s top builders and industrialists, “only had one pair of pants as a student.”

Because his father’s business had its ups and downs, Benny worked to support his siblings. At 16, he began working for his relatives’ chain of theaters (State, Lyric, Capitol and Gaiety) in Manila. After work, he would attend his classes at Jose Rizal College, where his mother’s cousin, Vicente Fabella, granted him a scholarship. He finished Commercial Business in 1941 with a thesis on “Modern Advertising in the Philippines.”

Benny enjoyed bowling with friends in San Marcelino, where he met and fell in love with Glecy Rustia, daughter of Juan Rustia of Baliwag, and a product of St. Theresa’s College and St. Scholastica. Glecy was a pianist who got lessons from the famous Agoncillo sisters whose mother made the first Philippine flag.

Benny and Glecy married in April 1944, and their first home was Room 744 of Avenue Hotel. Later, Benny built a two-story home for Glecy that was to become the first Rustan’s in San Marcelino.

The store name Rustan’s was suggested by Jessie Bello, head of publicity and advertising of the Luzon Theaters. Benny chose Rustan over the first suggested name, Tanrus.
